So lets start with some back story.

I have a hunch my tuner is miffing my tune to keep me coming back and spending money.

At the same time I don't want to point fingers as it could be a number of things on the truck.

All's I know is after dyno tuning using smaller flex fuel injectors everything was perfect and non return style system.

I had to go to return style because the fuel pressure was so much it would tear the fuel pump to fuel hat line when the truck would sit overnight.

What have I changed since it ran good:

Swapped in the injectors I was told to, ran a return system and fuel pressure regulator.

Had a bad o2 sensor so I put a new one in and now the issues are worse.

Noticed the BOV was sticking WIDE open at idle so swapped in the bigger spring and it did not fix the issue but no longer sticks open.

So what's it doing? VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35nLIzV2NUU

Yes I know my RPM tack is broken.

What I do know:

Fuel pressure to rail is good during surges.

WOT runs fine.

Didn't have these issues with same o2 setup prior to injectors/Return fuel setup.

Hello, this looks to me like only wide-open throttle has been tuned and a lot more time needs spending on the tuning of the rest of the map
